He Has A Girlfriend But I Think He Likes Me

Uh oh. You and he are great friends. In fact, you’re really close, but he’s got a girlfriend. You might have had feelings for him once, but you’ve come to terms with the fact that he’s in a relationship with someone else, and you’ve accepted that, for now, you’ll just be friends, nothing more.

But all of a sudden, things seem to have changed. You’ve noticed that he’s flirting with you in a way he never has done before. Every so often, you catch him looking at you with real intensity, and it sends shivers up and down your spine.

Here’s the big question…what should you do if he’s flirting with you, but he still has a girlfriend?

Top Tips on How to Handle Your Flirting Friend…Especially When He’s Got a Girlfriend

Question his motives. Sure, he might be flirting because he’s simply powerless to resist your charms, which is flattering (especially if you still have feelings for him). However, it’s important to remember that he still has a girlfriend. If he really had strong feelings for you, he’d do the honourable thing and finish it with her first.

Don’t get caught up in a messy situation. When you’re attracted to someone, it’s difficult to not flirt back. However, it’s important to think ahead here. If you’re caught flirting with him, things could get messy, and you could find yourself in a confrontational situation with his girlfriend.

Try to remain level headed. It’s tricky, but try not to over-romanticise the situation. Remain as platonic and friendly as possible. If he really likes you, he’ll finish his current relationship to be with you.

However strong your feelings for him, try not to get carried away by your emotions. Remember, if your relationship with him was meant to be, he’ll act in a decent way, end things with his current girlfriend, and romance you properly. If he doesn’t do this, then you need to question whether he’s actually worth it after all.
